Saint Francis taught the brothers to keep the Rule ever before their eyes as a reminder of the life they are to live, and, what is more, that they should die with it.
Saint Francis of Assisi
Celano, Second Life
CHAPTER CLVIII
The Portiuncula Franciscan Chapel, located adjacent to the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Ozark, Ohio (Diocese of Steubenville) is humbly committed to imitating the Gospel life of Christ, and observing the Sacraments. Placing ourselves under strict and holy obedience to Father Nick Ward, we follow the Medieval Penitential First Rule of the Third Order of St. Francis, dated 1221 A.D.
